Well I’ve mentioned them a few times and as I’ve said (somewhere) they deserve a whole post.

I love them sooo much - my nephews that is (although I have found them taking advantage of my not-so-strict-aunt like self. Note: be fun but firm – ahem that’s easy enough to say but how do you do it? Gosh)

Anyway I have two nephews, the first is aged two and three months (or so) and the second is going to be one next month. They are brothers by the way, and are the kids of the sister that says that I talk excessively.

nb I don't wear underwear on the outside of my clothes either. Atleast not intentionally.

Hello

This is so going to be a quick one (I know I say that a lot and it doesn’t ever happen but today I’m counting on it).

My sister put the yum-yums to bed and came in my room (I was on The Revival – I think I need to get out more.. not that there’s anything wrong with this site, just that I do actually spend a lot of time on here) So I said: ‘let’s search [online] for something together’.

Rasulullah S.A.W. said, 'Jannat lies under the feet of your mother.'

Rasulullah S.A.W. said, 'If you read the kalima with conviction just once, Jannah becomes upon you.'

Rasulullah S.A.W. said, 'A women who reveals her body or even wears tight fitting clothes wont come within 500 years of the smell of Jannah.'

Rasulullah S.A.W. said, 'The dust which settles on a man while he is out in the path of Allah; not only the fire, but the smoke of Jahannam is haraam for those parts of the body.'

Rasulullah S.A.W. said, 'I only curse 3 types of people;

1. Those people who do not look after their parents when they are in old age.

A baby asked Allah, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' Allah
said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you,
don't be scared.'

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to
do anything but sing and smile to be happy. 'Allah said, 'Your angel
will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your
angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when
people talk to me if I don't know their language?' Allah said, 'Your
angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever
hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to
speak their language.'

Just finished reading Surah Hajj and wanted to share those two ayahs

Ayah 11. And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.

Scary...we're all happy bunnies, fasting, praying etc..and when the going gets tough...

Yesterday I went to my friend's house for Iftaar and next week (maybe the 1st or 2nd of September) I’m hoping to do my own ‘Everyone come over Iftaar’. I’ve had a bit of trouble with the menu planning today but I got through it (well the main part of it). Then again, however, but (the big but!), I do have one problem. Before I tell you that let’s go through what I’m planning so far:
